Principal: Mrs M Crelley Issue No: 6 Term: 2 Monday 6th May, 2019

Welcome Back Welcome back to all students and staff for a positive, productive and peaceful term. I would also like to welcome our newest students and families who have recently joined us. ANZAC Day March Thank you to all students who attended the ANZAC March on the last Thursday of the school holidays. We continue to have pleasing student participation at this very solemn and significant event and we commemorated this occasion as a school at our assembly last Friday 3rd May. Thank you to Mrs Lourigan for again overseeing the organisation of our ANZAC Day remembrance services. Staffing I am excited to officially welcome Mrs Alanya Skewes as Head Teacher English/Creative and Performing Arts who has been permanently appointed to this position. Likewise, I also officially congratulate Ms Simone Crossley as a permanent appointment to the role of Head Teacher Teaching and Learning. Mr Dan McKenzie has been successful in his application for the role of Support Teacher which will commence Term 3. Mr Pat Hubatka will also remain teaching the Support Class until a replacement can be found for Mr McKenzie who will remain with his PDHPE classes until such time. Mr Mark Elliott has accepted a position at another school and we wish him all the best. Mrs Locke has also relocated to another position further afield. Mr Harry Smout will join the Mathematics faculty to replace Mrs Locke. Ms Erika Collins will temporarily be taking Mr Elliott’s classes until the position is filled. Special Programs Term 2 This term we commence the running of some fantastic programs to support and engage identified students. Police School Liaison Officer Constable Alex Davies will be working with Mr Joey Longford and a select group of students from Year 7-9 building self-esteem and respectful relationships through increased collaboration and teamwork opportunities available within these groups. This will be a ‘hands on’ experience with students working on projects such as bicycle restoration together as a group. Headspace will be offering in-school small group sessions from mid-way through this term to support emotional and social wellbeing of identified students, which is a unique and valuable partnership between our school and this fantastic service. Updated Mobile Phone/Electronic Device Policy 2019 This term will see the introduction of an updated Mobile Phone/Electronic Device Policy to safeguard our environment from unnecessary disruptions and distractions due to the unauthorised use of mobile phones and electronic devices in the classroom. The classroom is a place for learning and as a school this is our core business. This policy aims to clearly state the expectations for mobile phone/electronic device use while at school in keeping with our Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) behaviour management processes. In short, mobile phones/electronic devices are only to be seen and used in a classroom for educational purposes when asked by the teacher. The use of a mobile phone in class may be warranted if the teacher, for example, requires students to look up a particular website for learning, to access a shared class drive on the computer or to film a performance for feedback. When not used for educational purposes at the direction of the staff member, phones and devices should be “Off and Away.” The school will reinforce the “Off and Away” message through signage and regular reference. Our PBL lessons will also be used to go through the updated Mobile Phone/Electronic Device policy with students so there is a clear understanding of expectations and consequences and to promote positive behaviour in relation to the responsible use of this technology. This information will also be delivered to students at assemblies, some of which occurred last term. Most of our students are exceptionally responsible and respectful in their use of phones and devices at school and this is much appreciated. This new policy acts as a constant reminder of the

expectations and consequences if the use of these devices causes a negative impact to the teaching, learning and wellbeing environments within our school. Phones and devices used in an inappropriate manner in the playground will also attract penalties in accordance with our PBL behaviour management process. The new policy is available on our school website and is attached to this newsletter. Thank you for your support in implementing this policy in the best interest of teaching, learning and wellbeing at Leeton High School.

~~DEPUTY PRINCIPAL - TEACHING & LEARNING~~

At the recent attendance barbeque held at the end of Term 1 we had just under 50% of our students enjoy the event as their attendance rate was over 95%. We also had a smaller segment of students of approximately 20% receive a certificate of acknowledgement for attendance rates between 90% and 95%. We had about 50 students which fell just shy of the 90% attendance rate. We acknowledge that student attendance is a complex issue and therefore requires a range of strategies which acknowledges that it is a shared commitment by students, parents, care givers, the school itself and the community. Research also demonstrates that there is a strong correlation between attendance and student learning outcomes. I therefore take this opportunity to communicate our school attendance target and will in forthcoming newsletters report on progress towards our target.

As can be seen in the above chart, Leeton High School (green bars) has pleasingly, albeit slowly improved its attendance over the last four years when compared to ‘Statistical Similar Schools’ (black bars) and also the attendance rate compared to the NSW average (red bars).

The above graph displays attendance rates for Term 1 2019

RESPECTFUL RESPONSIBLE LEARNERS

For Term 1, 2018 only the Year 7 cohort were above the 85% benchmark that we as a school set ourselves to achieve. This year we have three cohorts above our 85% target – they include 7, 8 and 12 (refer to chart above). Well done to these cohorts. Year 10 is below our expectations with their attendance, but this is a similar story when looking historically at Leeton High School and also the NSW average. Despite saying this, an improvement in their overall attendance rate has occurred this year compared to last year (refer to green arrows) and a decline has unfortunately been seen in Year 7 and 9 when compared to 2018. As a school we will reinstate regular messages to parents about whole school absences and we will start communicating to parents if their son or daughter is marked away for a particular lesson without a reason. This will occur from Week 4 this Term. The school will also hold attendance barbeques on a termly basis to celebrate the achievement of students with attendance rates over 95% and certificates will be handed out to all of those students with rates above 90%. Employers look very favourably on them if students make mention of these in their resumes. Parents are encouraged to notify the school if their children are to miss a day of school. We understand the need if your son or daughter is sick and they require time to recover, but we also wish to emphasise to students who sit below our 85% school wide target that - missing one day each week means that you miss out on about 2 weeks of lessons each term, which equates to nearly a Term (8 weeks) of schooling over the year. Glenn Duggan Deputy Principal (Teaching and Learning)

Rehearsals are back in full swing for our 2019 school musical, Back To The 80’s. With over 60 students involved in the cast and a further 20 involved in the band and crew, it’s gonna be totally awesome! Although the rehearsal schedule is gruelling (different rehearsals 6 days a week including before and after school), there’s still plenty of fun to be had, as demonstrated by the pictures below. There will be 2 matinee and 2 evening performances from 2nd-3rd July so keep an eye out for our posters and tickets, which will be out soon.

Riverina Dance Festival 2019 Last week we received news that two LHS Dance Ensembles have been selected to participate in the Riverina Dance Festival following auditions at the end of last term. As a result 22 students will have the opportunity to perform in this fantastic showcase of dance from schools across the Riverina. Our Representative Dance Ensemble will perform a work entitled ‘Unity’ that focuses on coming together as one. Congratulations to all the girls on their hard work and to Ella Saddler of Year 12 who choreographed the piece. Our newly formed Junior Dance Ensemble will perform ‘Stick it to the Man’, a piece that explores teenagers rebelling as they fight for greater independence. This group of Year 7 and 8 students have worked hard in their recess and lunch breaks throughout Term 1 to prepare their audition and should also be congratulated. The Riverina Dance Festival will take place on Friday 21st June at the Griffith Regional Theatre. Tickets will be available from the theatre from Monday 13th May. Those students wishing to purchase Riverina Dance Festival jackets will need to return their order form and money by Wednesday 15th May. Forms can be collected from Mrs Goman

2019 NAPLAN Online Testing A letter was recently sent home with Yr 7 and Yr 9 students to inform parents of the 2019 arrangements for NAPLAN testing. NAPLAN assesses literacy and numeracy – important skills that each child needs to succeed in school and life. The NAPLAN tests are designed to help us make sure students are on track with their literacy and numeracy development. Students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 participate in NAPLAN tests for reading, writing, conventions of language (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and numeracy. Between 14th May and 24th May 2019, our school will participate in NAPLAN Online. Students do not need to be computer experts to take the NAPLAN test online. Making sure students have computer skills is part of our school curriculum, and our teachers will ensure your child is familiar with the online format. To see the types of questions and interactive features of NAPLAN Online, visit the public demonstration site: http://www.nap.edu.au/online-assessment/public-demonstration-site

All students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 are expected to participate in the annual NAPLAN assessment. Students with disability may qualify for adjustments that reflect the support normally provided for classroom assessments. To apply for the use of any disability adjustments for your child or if you have any questions about NAPLAN Online, please contact the school and speak to Mrs Meagan Crelley, Principal or Mrs Naomi Butler, Learning and Support Teacher.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT JUNIOR ENGLISH Congratulations to all English students from Year 7-10 who submitted quality, creative and thoughtful assessment tasks at the conclusion of Term 1. Junior classes will be receiving feedback this week. Year 10 English classes completed a discursive piece of writing in the form of a feature article; presenting opinions and thoughts on the concept of belonging or not belonging. Below are extracts of some exemplary student work…

Extract 1: It’s Human Nature to Feel the Need to Belong. But Why Fit in When You Were Born to

Stand Out? To conform or not to conform, that is thy question. We all have our own individuality however, we tend to subject ourselves to criticism in an attempt to meet social expectations of ‘normal’. In other words, ‘to fit the mould’. I myself being no exception. It’s human nature to feel the need to belong. When we feel as though we

don’t belong, we can become alienated by not only others, but also ourselves. The sense of wanting to belong is always with us, if we are aware of this is a different question. People can become confused or unsure of where they fit in ‘the grand scheme of things’. To some, the feeling of belonging and acceptance is more important than following their heart and staying true to themselves.

Extract 2: Judgement vs Belonging

The human race strives to find one thing. No, I’m not talking about love or money or happiness and this

isn’t about the meaning of life. Instead; we spend our lives trying to ‘fit in’. Some will defy this in an

attempt to stand out, but in reality, we all belong to the human race. The human race is judgemental, a

flaw we are not born with but instead taught from parent to child, through all generations. As a community, we choose to judge others and ultimately this is what decides how we react and interact with

those around us.

Extract 3: The Power of Belonging In the 1930’s drinking while pregnant was not only common but unquestioned. If you saw a pregnant woman drinking excessively today I’m sure you would be concerned. A doctor operating in the 1930’s would

prescribe smoking cigarettes and cigars to patients with lung problems. If you heard this from a doctor today, you would question his medical certificate. So, why is it that society is still ignorant about racism, even today? If society is as technologically advanced as we claim, why are we still stuck in the mindset of the 1930’s? We brag about how much we have accomplished, how far we have come, but have we truly advanced at all?

NSW CHS SWIMMING CHAMPIONSHIPS During Week 11, nine students from Leeton High School represented the Riverina at the NSW CHS Swimming Championships. Both Dion DeMamiel and Hayden Gilmour were commendable in their individual events over the three days doing themselves and their school proud. Dion was joined by Blayne Thompson, Angus Crelley and Lachlan Holden in the 16 Years Boys 4x50m Freestyle relay with all boys performing well at the meet. Reece Grundy, Jhi Grundy, Thomas Heins and Raith Henman joined both Dion and Hayden in the 6x50m All-Age Relay. Again all of the boys should be proud of their efforts. Congratulations to all our representatives.

OPEN GIRLS SOCCER On Wednesday 10th April, the Open Girls Soccer Team travelled to Hillston to compete in the first round of the CHS Soccer comp. Within the first 10 minutes of the game, Tahlia Barton–Roden had scored the first of 4 goals by LHS. With strong defence, led by Charlie Lamont in goals, our ‘rookie’ midfielders, Grace Korovata and Paris Crelley worked well together to mystify Hillston in the middle, resulting in a goal to Grace in the 20th minute. Jade Cooper chipped in with another goal just before half time (after taking a few practise shots at the school bus) to make the score 3-0. In the second half, our girls, though tired, continued to work hard and experiment with different positions on the field. Hillston scored their first goal before Grace Korovata scored her second of the match, keeping a 2 goal buffer. In what seemed like the longest half ever, Hillston scored their second goal just before full time, but it was too little, too late with LHS coming out on top 4-2. It was a great match by a team with quite a few inexperienced players and several Year 8 students stepping up to play in the Opens age group. Sarah Seymour was solid in defence throughout the match, while Hannah Pianca had a few good runs early on and Bella Franz gave great support from the sideline towards the end of the match. Big shout out to the parents who came along to watch and to Charlie Lamont for captaining the girls and leading by example both on and off the field. Congratulations to all involved. LHS will progress through to round 2 where they will take on Yanco Ag in early Term 2.
